I am trying to get a script to modify a file on my linux system. The
file is located in /etc/squid
6997741 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8458 Mar 29 08:05 sites
I found a script that will open the file in a text field and I can add
a new entry at the bottom. However when I try to write the file I get
a error.
To test I did a chmod 777 on the sites file and my php script worked
fine. But I am not suppose to leave this file with this type of
premissions.
What is the best thing to do to resolve this?

Your problem is the file is not owned by the webserver's userid.
Changing permissions to 777 is dangerous, as you well know. It's much
better to change the owner to the webserver's userid and allow only the
webserver to access it. A secondary option would be to put the
webserver's userid in the group that owns the file, but that's not as
secure.

Thank you Jerry. By changing the owner to apache I was able to write.
How does one change the owner?
I am learning PHP, and bought some scripts from BestWebForms.co m, and
they work great on web accounts hosted by Omnis.com and
NetStarTel.com, but I can't get them to work on accounts hosted by
Fatcow or Godaddy.
I tried to get help from the PHP script vendor, but they just said
they'd had some problems with Fatcow sites, but I'm on my own.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
George

You'll need to ask your hosting company. There are several different
ways of doing it, depending on the control panel (or lack thereof) they
use, user names, etc. And I haven't used either Fatcow or GoDaddy web
servers.

one finds out the OS, then one finds the appropriate usenet group for that
OS.

Do I need to use flock() when reading a file into an array? It's possible that
the file in question could be open at the time the file('filename') request is
made. I realize flock() is required when opening a file with fopen() when there
is contention for the file:
$fp=fopen($ctr, 'w');
//only write if we can get lock on file
if (flock($fp, LOCK_EX))
{
fwrite($fp, "0");

Hi;
My ASP.NET app (C# calling J# under .net 2.0) creates a png file in a
subdirectory to display as part of the created page. However, the bitmap will
not display due to a security violation.
Everything is the default settings I believe. IIS is running under Local
System. In IIS the DefaultAppPool is running under Network Service.
Annonymous access uses the account IUSR_JASMINE (machine name is Jasmine).

I always read about how you need to set certain file permissions (for
cgi files, for example), but it's never been clear to me *how* you do
this. I know you can run the line
chmod 755 scriptname.py
but *where* do you run this? Is this done on your personal system, or on
the server? What if you are using Windows? If it's done on the server,
how do you do it?

Newbie question:
I'm trying to determine if a file physically exists regardless of the
permissions on it
Using File.Exists() returns false if it physically exists but the
process does not have the necessary permissions.
One hack could be to check for length and that would throw a
FileNotFoundException ...but there is got to be a better way!

I have an odd permissions issue with uploading files to a windows 2003

I have a reasonably unusual setup. We have a php website, running through
IIS that was written to use mod_rewrite. Obviously, this doesn't exist in

the site, with the rewriting done by .net, which then passes the processng
back to the php pages. So far so good.
